It's been only 28 days since Nottingham Forest parted ways with Ange Postecoglou, making him the fastest manager to leave the club in English football history. This short spell is reminiscent of Tommy Docherty's 28-day tenure at Queens Park Rangers in 1968, when he resigned after just three games due to a disagreement over a transfer deal.
Other notable mentions include Brian Clough's 44-day stay at Leeds United in 1974 and Jock Stein's 45-day stint at the same club. Les Reed's 40-day spell at Charlton Athletic is also worth mentioning, albeit he took over after Postecoglou's departure, albeit for only one day.
These brief managerial stints serve as a reminder that even the most experienced managers can fall victim to the pressures of English football. As we've seen time and again, it takes more than just technical skill to succeed in the top tier – temperament and leadership are equally important.
And now, on a slightly different note, Austria's national team has achieved something remarkable: every outfield player who started in their 10-0 demolition of San Marino got a goal or an assist. While this record might not be new, it's still impressive to see such dominance on the pitch. Can any other team replicate this feat? The answer remains to be seen.
Finally, for those interested in free-kick goals and red cards, Pierre van Hooijdonk holds the record for most direct free-kicks scored (18) in an 18-month period. His impressive form was largely due to a specific tactic employed by Feyenoord's coaching staff – essentially, they would lump the ball up to him, who would then wait for contact before scoring.

what's going on in england right now? 
and Austria's team is straight fire 
i mean who else can say every outfield player got a goal or assist? that's like something out of a dream 
️
so these managerial stints are crazy short 
and its not just postecoglou who had a meltdown 
queens park rangers is an old example though 
but what's wild is that you gotta have the right temperament and leadership skills to even get 28 days at a team 
. I mean, have you ever tried authentic Korean BBQ tacos? It was love at first bite! The combination of spicy Gochujang sauce and crispy kimchi slaw is a game-changer. Anyway, back to football... Austria's national team is on fire 
️. I mean, have you tried their single-origin Ethiopian Yirgacheffe? It's out of this world!
, it just goes to show how much pressure those managers are under 
, i mean who knew lumping the ball up to someone could be so effective lol. Austria's 10-0 win was crazy tho, can't imagine anyone else beating San Marino like that 
Austria's 10-0 win over San Marino is pretty crazy. I mean, it's not like they're the first team to dominate a match like that... but still, every outfield player getting a goal or assist? That's some serious team effort 
. And you know what's even more interesting? The teams that did beat Austria back in 2006 and 2018 only managed to score 1-0 and 2-0 respectively, so yeah, Austria was on fire that day 
. Can't say I'm impressed with this record 
.
. The Austrian team's dominance was incredible, but will they be able to maintain that momentum? Only time 
what's going on with english football managers? can't they just chill? 
I mean, 28 days is a pretty short time for anyone to take charge of a team, let alone manage one in the top tier. It's like trying to cook a meal in a kitchen with no ingredients – it just ain't gonna happen! 
10-0 against san marino? that's just ridiculous! can anyone else top that feat? i'm keeping an eye on it 
), but it's like, you'd think that with all the experience, he'd be able to handle a little pressure.
